Police were called after a neighbour witnessed part of the incident, however they received no response after knocking at the door and left.

Mr Parker said at around 5am Fishwick began to ‘kick and stamp on her side’ and she shouted ‘please stop I just want to leave’.

The court heard that he continued to punch her several times and then ‘bit her on the left side of her face’.

Fishwick told her: “You’re not going to leave this flat.” He then placed his hands around her neck and ‘started to strangle her’ before covering her mouth with his hands to stop her screaming, the court heard.
